Technology<br />

2<br />

<strong>CIKC</strong> has three core technology themes:<br />

– Plastic (opto-) electronics: flexible<br />

displays/electronics and distributed<br />

electronics on rigid substrates at a “low”<br />

temperature budget<br />

– Augmented or additive processing on<br />

active substrates (e.g. liquid crystal on<br />

silicon devices, LCOS)<br />

– Complementary actions such as<br />

photovoltaic or energy storage/batteries<br />

Molecular and macromolecular material<br />

based components are likely to meet a very<br />

large range <strong>of</strong> commercial applications in<br />

displays, lighting, photovoltaics, smart<br />

packaging, smart windows, RFID etc. For<br />

example, solution-based processing <strong>of</strong><br />

polymer semiconductors <strong>of</strong>fers the potential<br />

<strong>of</strong> integrating electronic, optical and photonic<br />

devices into flexible, low-cost plastic<br />

substrates enabling a range <strong>of</strong> innovative<br />

products, and LCOS devices are becoming<br />

the main contenders in the microdisplays<br />

industry.<br />
